Real Madrid claimed a record-extending 36th La Liga title on Saturday after Girona fought back to beat Barcelona 4-2, a result that left Carlo Ancelotti¡¯s side with an unassailable lead in the standings.
Real Madrid, which has lost only once in the league this season, beat lowly Cadiz earlier on Saturday. The club holds a 13-point advantage over second-placed Girona while Barcelona dropped to third with four matches remaining.
Madrid now can turn its attention to a La Liga-Champions League double as the club gets ready to host Bayern Munich in the semifinal return leg on Wednesday after snatching a 2-2 draw in Germany last week.
